One Day in Heaven

I watched a Beth Moore video recently on YouTube that really made me stop and think. Beth talked about knowing some missionaries who were involved in an accident. For the purpose of re-telling this story (because I can't recall the actual names Beth mentioned) I will call these missionaries Amy and Jenny. Amy died and Jenny was in a coma. When Jenny came to she asked almost immediately, "What about Amy? Did she make it?" Beth said at that very moment Amy was in Heaven with a host of angels gathered all around saying "What about Jenny? Did she make it?" What a powerful visual!! Can't you just picture loved ones in Heaven just waiting for us to get there to spend eternity with them? I can! I have such a longing sometimes that it is a physical ache in my soul and in my body. The more I learn through Bible study and church, the closer I long to be to God and the deeper this longing grows. I have always known that Jesus died for you, to save you. I am starting to believe that Jesus also died for ME! I have never felt worthy of forgiveness or redemption and in all reality, I am not. But Jesus loves me. I have to say that again - Jesus loves ME. And He died for ME. In all my unworthiness and all my sin and shame, he became man and faced the same temptations I face and beat them all. He knew me and chose me before I was ever formed in my Mother's womb and called me to be his own. It is more than I can comprehend, yet I know that it is true. And one day the angels in Heaven will be gathered all around and will say, "What about Mary? Did she make it?"
